Tape system – Conventional lightning protection:
Lightning and protection design and specification, Systems complaint to AS/NZS: 1768, Copper tape down conductors, Lightning strike maps and historical reports, Soil resistivity and earth testing

Cable system – Conventional lighting protection (cable/adhesive system)
There are fantastic benefits to using fixed air terminals and adhesive cable fixings which include the following:

The air terminal base is comparable in price to a mechanically fixed base, A down conductor clip is considerably less expensive than a mechanically fixed one per unit, Great availability, Quick installation and therefore lower labor costs, No drilling needed, No surface penetration needed, No mains or battery operated tools needed

About Conventional Lightning Protection

Medium voltage systems are used to distribute electrical power efficiently across industrial facilities, utilities,transport
infrastructure, and large commercial environments. They form a critical part of networks where higher distribution
voltages are required to support reliable power transfer, operational continuity, and safe system performance.

Typical medium voltage applications include substations, utility distribution systems, transport projects, heavy industry,
manufacturing sites, and infrastructure developments. Equipment in this category may include switchgear, transformers,
grounding components, reactive power support systems, insulators, surge protection, and line accessories.

Key considerations in medium voltage design include system reliability, fault management, insulation performance, safety,
and future scalability. Selecting fit-for-purpose equipment supports compliant installation, network resilience, and long-term
operational performance across demanding project environments.
